System Identification Indicators

The identification buttons on the front and back panels can be used to identify a particular system within a rack. See

Figure 3-2

to locate the front-panel system identification button. See

Figure 3-3

to locate the back-panel system identification

button and indicator.

When either of the identification buttons is pushed, the identification indicator on the back blinks until one of the buttons is

pushed again. If the bezel is installed, the system status indicator will also blink. If an indicator is connected to the back-

panel system status indicator connector, that indicator will also blink.

Systems management software can also be used to cause the status and identification indicators to blink to identify a

particular system. For more information, see the systems management software documentation.

Front-Panel Indicators and Features

character display (see "

LCD Status Messages

"). See

Figure 3-2

for the front-panel indicators and features.
